Having gathered up quite a collection of ECW troops, the tricky problem of how and where to store them now arises. I wanted to have the pikemen standing and enough room for the standards of the horse regiments.

I've indulged in a couple of 9 litre 'really useful boxes' (available from http://www.reallyusefulboxes.com/ and other suppliers), these are just right. Made of clear material you can see whats in them and I can get about 5 regiments of horse or foot into one box.

Its made up of a 3mm MDF base with a raised up centre section for the castle made of foam board and cardboard; with the edges covered in stone paper. The moat was done by painting it brown with green bits and then spraying it with a few coats of varnish.

The ramp to the bridge has yet to be finished. Some small pieces of foam board have been stuck on to keep the buildings in place.
